EDITORS COMMENTS
Andrea Lilio's Putto with Garland (n.d.) is a captivating 17th century pen and brown ink drawing with brush and brown wash squared in red chalk on ivory laid paper laid down on blue laid paper. This enchanting work of art showcases a cherubic putto, or amorino, lying down in a pastoral setting. The putto, a symbol of love and playfulness, is depicted with a garland of flowers in his left hand and a cloud-like formation in his right, suggesting a daydream or a moment of reverie. The drawing is characterized by its intricate details and delicate shading, with the putto's naked body rendered in brown ink and the flowers and clouds in the background delicately rendered in brush and brown wash. The use of squared paper adds an element of precision and structure to the otherwise dreamlike scene. Andrea Lilio, a native of Lanconitano in Italy, was a skilled draftsman and artist of the 17th century. His works often featured figures in natural settings, reflecting the beauty and wonder of the natural world. This particular drawing, with its charming depiction of a putto in a peaceful, idyllic scene, is a testament to Lilio's artistic mastery and his ability to capture the essence of the human experience. The Putto with Garland is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is a cherished addition to the institution's extensive collection of prints and drawings. This artwork invites viewers to take a moment to appreciate the simple pleasures of nature and the innocence of childhood, making it a beloved piece of heritage art that continues to captivate and inspire.
